send an additional 3,000 teachers to singapore schools，cut the courses of study even further and change the way the mother tongue，especially chinese，is taught.but，for the changes to be successful，parents need to help.singapore has a devoted group of teachers and principals and quite a few of them are outstanding，but the republics schools can be even better.to help the schools make a jump in quality，the government plans that within the next 6 years，it will send 1,000 more teachers to primary schools,1,400 to secondary schools and 550 more to junior colleges.each school would decide how to use its extra teachers.some may want to make classes smaller so students get more individual attentions while others may have new teachers assist more senior teachers，but the overall goal is to give teachers the time and space to come up with ways to bring out the best in their students.more teachers must not mean more homework，however.in fact，the prime minister wants to see the courses cut down so that there is less pressure on the students.good grades are important but they should not be the only goal students have.pm lee is convinced that “we must teach less so that our children can learn more.”another change will be in the teaching of the mother tongue so that students can become more fluent.the key is to teach chinese as a living language not just an academic subject like latin.therefore，the focus should be on speaking and reading the language.to do this，there must be an environment outside the classroom that is contributing to strengthening the chinese lessons.【解题导语】 这是一篇新闻报道，文章向我们介绍了为了提高教学质量，以总理李显龙为代表的新加坡政府在未来几年的设想以及措施。44the text is mainly about_in singapore.athe education reform badding more teacherscthe mother tongue dways of

and publishers is to respond to the competitive challenge caused by online news，and at the same time use their own online news to increase their profits (利润)as yet，they havent figured out a smooth and sure way to do that.so they cut some more to get profit.the cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results.with every cut，publishers tirelessly
